The work examines the similarities and differences between ancient Assyrian hymns and Hebrew psalms, focusing on their styles, themes, and significance within their respective cultures. Cumming endeavors to provide a comparative framework that will help scholars and readers appreciate the richness of spiritual expression in these ancient texts. At the start of the book, Cumming outlines his intention to explore the nature and literary merit of Hebrew psalms and Assyrian hymns, emphasizing the historical context in which these works were created. He argues for a broader understanding of Hebrew psalms as part of a larger continuum of religious poetry that intersects with various ancient cultures.
